520 _a[2004] EWHC 1101 (QB), 19 May 2004. Concerned with a claim for misrepresentation over the dating of two urns, as to whether they were 18th or 19th century which was an important issue in assessing their value. It also raised the issue of duty of care of auctioneer (C) to client (T). "Held": the measure of damages for breach of duty of care was the difference between what T had paid for the urns and what they were worth on the basis that there was only a 70% likelihood that they were 18th century. The representation claim was limited to what T had paid by way of buyer's premium and her damages for misrepresentation were to be calculated by taking a proportion of her total loss, that is the proportion that the premium bore to the total she had paid. In July 2004, C was granted leave to appeal to CA.
